Atypical periprosthetic femoral fracture: a case report.

Rare non-traumatic periprosthetic femoral fracture with features of an atypical femoral fracture: a case report

INTRODUCTION Atypical femoral fractures have emerged as one of the potential complications of bisphosphonates during the past decade. The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research published a Task Force report on atypical femoral fractures in 2010 and a second report in 2014. Although the current definition of atypical femoral fractures in these reports excludes periprosthetic fractures, e...

Periprosthetic Atypical Femoral Fracture-like Fracture after Hip Arthroplasty: A Report of Three Cases

Atypical femoral fractures are stress or insufficient fractures induced by low energy trauma or no trauma and have specific X-ray findings. Although the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research has excluded periprosthetic fractures from the definition of an atypical femoral fracture in 2013, this is still a matter of controversy because some authors report periprosthetic fractures showing...

Long-term Bisphosphonate Therapy-induced Periprosthetic Femoral Stress Fracture in a Sliding Hip Screw Implant: A Unique Case Report

INTRODUCTION Long-term bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis is associated with an increased risk of low-to-no energy atypical subtrochanteric and femoral shaft fractures with characteristic radiologic findings. There are few reports of patients with long-term bisphosphonate-induced periprosthetic fractures, all of them had a hip arthroplasty prosthesis. In this report, we present a unique ca...

Antibiotic-impregnated Cement Plate for the Treatment of Infected Periprosthetic Femoral Fracture after Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty - A Case Report -

Copyright c 2012 by Korean Hip Society 245 Periprosthetic femoral fracture is a problematic complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although treatment protocols for periprosthetic femoral fracture have been reported, treatment protocols for periprosthetic fracture with accompanying infection have rarely been published. When these two complications occur together, it becomes more difficult...
